Place the indicator wires through the cable tie
located underneath the steering wheel insert. Con-

IMPORTANT: Be certain to follow step six exactly to
prevent damage to the indicator lights and wire harness
when using the lawn tractor.
Position the cable tie and secure the wire harness
as follows.
a. Raise the hood of the tractor, and pull excess
wire down through the dash panel.
b. Partially tighten the cable tie under the dash
panel so the cable tie is snug, but can still slide
up and down the wire harness. Slide the cable
tie up until it is against the dash panel.
c. Turn the steering wheel fully in both directions
(wires will be pulled up into the steering bellow),
then return the steering wheel to the center.
Carefully pull the wires down from the dash
panel, and move cable tie down the wires 1/4
inch.

Tighten the cable tie securely. Trim end of cable
tie so at least one inch of the cable tie remains.
Pull bellow up against the bottom of the steering
wheel.
TIRE PRESSURE
The tires on your unit may be over-inflated for shipping
purposes. Reduce the tire pressure before operating
the unit. Recommended operating tire pressure is ap-
proximately 12 p.s.i. (check sidewall of tire for tire
manufacturer's recommended pressure).
_b WARNING: Maximum tire pressure under
any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire
pressure should be maintained on all tires.
LEVELING THE DECK
With unit on hard, level surface, measure the distance
from the bottom edge of the center of the left side of
deck to the ground. Measure the same distance on the
center of the right side of the deck (just behind the
chute area on side discharge units). Or, place the
blades in a straight line, and measure the distance from
the outside edge of the blade tips to the ground.
Adjust the lift link on the left side of the deck as
necessary. See figure 7. Recheck the adjustment.
